Cron Jobs
Make sure scheduled cron jobs run on time and get alerted the moment one stops checking in.
Free plan includes 5 Checks — no credit card required.
Simple Cron, Scheduled Task & Workflow Monitoring
Get instantly notified the moment your cron job, scheduled task, or n8n, Zapier, and Make workflow goes silent.
Uptime monitoring asks whether a server responds. Doyouok asks whether the job actually ran.
Setup takes 2 minutes · no credit card · test it with a single curl call.
Monitor Anything That Should Keep Running
Scheduled Tasks
Watch Windows Task Scheduler and other scheduled jobs with no extra monitoring setup.
n8n, Make & Zapier Workflows
Get alerted when an n8n workflow, Make scenario or Zapier zap quietly stops running.
Scripts & Background Jobs
Know right away when a script, worker or background process stops running unexpectedly.
Backups & Data Jobs
Confirm that backups, imports, exports and other automated data jobs actually finished.
How It Works
1
Create a Check
Create a Check for your task and get a dedicated Ping URL.
2
Send a Check-in
Have your process request this URL every time it runs successfully, or every time the event occurs.
3
Get Alerted on Timeout
If no check-in arrives within the interval you set, we'll alert you immediately.

# Ping Doyouok when your job succeeds

0 * * * * /path/to/backup.sh && curl -fsS --retry 3 --max-time 10 https://ping.doyouok.com/ping/YOUR-API-KEYNo Surprises: How Alerting Works
No Hidden Grace Period
The first alert fires the moment your check-in interval elapses — nothing waits quietly in the background.
One Escalating Reminder
Still down? A final reminder goes out once the check has been down for 2x your interval, so it doesn't get lost in a busy inbox.
Works Across Any Time Zone
Intervals are duration-based (e.g. every 6 hours), not clock-based — nothing to configure for time zones or daylight saving.
Automatic Recovery Alerts
The moment a check reports in again, we detect the recovery and notify you — no need to check back manually.

Frequently Asked Questions
A cron job monitor checks that your scheduled jobs are running as expected. If a job stops checking in, Doyouok sends you an alert.
Your cron job sends a simple HTTP request to a unique Ping URL whenever it runs successfully. If Doyouok doesn't receive that request in time, an alert is triggered.
Yes. Add an HTTP request step to your n8n workflow, Zapier zap, or Make scenario that calls your Ping URL when it completes successfully — Doyouok will alert you if that step ever stops firing.
Cron jobs, scheduled tasks, scripts, backups, database jobs, and automation workflows — anything that should run on a schedule or in response to an event.
No. Doyouok uses simple HTTP check-ins, so there's nothing to install.
